Arlo Hemphill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arlo Hanlin Hemphill (born October 7, 1971 in Baltimore, Maryland) is a California-based explorer, ocean conservationist, marine biologist and film actor. He is a Fellow National of the Explorers Club and has been listed in Nature (Myers et al. 2000) as one of 100+ global biodiversity experts, where he is credited for his expertise pertaining to the Greater Caribbean and the Chocó-Darién-Western Ecuador biodiversity hotspots. Hemphill is currently an independent ocean science, conservation and media consultant. He is also the Director of the Defying Ocean's End Office, a global agenda for action in ocean conservation.

Hemphill has committed numerous years to field work in Latin America and the Caribbean, working in a variety of marine, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in conjunction with Conservation International, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, the U.S. National Park Service, Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center, the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program, and Ecuador’s Jatun Sacha Foundation, where he co-founded the Congal Biomarine Station. Prior to his move to consulting, Hemphill was a Director of Conservation International's Global Marine Division, where with Dr. Sylvia Earle, he led the organization's efforts to reform ocean governance policies in international waters via participation on the World Commission on Protected Area's High Seas Marine Protected Area Task Force and the Steering Committees of the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition and the Forum for the Conservation of the Patagonian Sea and Areas of Influence.
